French Truckers Strike

The trucker's union in France has gone on strike and completely blocked access to the freight area in Bordeaux, Bruges. Since early this morning no truck or container has been able to get in or out. Automobiles are allowed entry, but to do so takes hours.

This is a very big issue for French trucking and storage today as the Bordeaux warehouse is also blocked.

In addition, please note that one of the main Bordeaux inland depots for empty equipment (MSC, CMA, Maersk, Hanjin, HS, KLINE...etc) is also in this area.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep you advised on this strike and on any new strike alerts at French ports and airports.
